  • I see this a lot but this thing was successfully used for a very long time and has successfully completed over 200 dives. The hull of this craft was built and designed in a partnership between Boeing and MIT it’s not just some random thing made in a garage. The company is very open about the fact this is dangerous and make quite a big deal of it since that is part of the appeal for the people who sign up for this. You have to sign numerous wavers. I really cannot hold OceanGate at fault here from what I know so far. Perhaps there was something they’ve done but from what I’ve seen if the conditions aren’t perfect and everything doesn’t check out the cancel the dive or do an alternative one they make it very clear it might not happen and they make their money either way so they have no financial incentive to increase risk.
